Peke, the Cat of the Day
Name: Peke
Age: Eleven years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Brown Tabby
Home: Massachusetts, USA
 
   Peke is a very, very polite kitty who would never get up on the counter or meow to get her way, except in the presence of that magical food shrimp. With shrimp in the house, she cannot be responsible for her behavior.

    Peke came to me from the local humane society as a four-month-old kitten. I was told it would be best to introduce a kitten into the home of a resident full grown kitty. Not much luck with that - none of my cats have ever accepted each other - I think they are all too spoiled and each want me all to him/herself. It's exhausting trying to making certain they get equal amounts of love and attention. Believe me, they're keeping score.

    What is special about Peke is her sweet disposition - she's a solid teddy bear of a cat and delicious to hug. She's not a lap kitty, but she'll plop herself next to me and wrap herself around my arm positioning herself for a belly rub session. I have rubbed her belly continuously through a full-featured movie yet she'll still hang in for more. Occasionally she'll perch behind me on the back of the sofa and surprise me with an enormous gentle love-bite to the head. She's partial to me which frustrates my husband who is very kind to her. However, when my husband is alone with her she'll act flirtatious and lets him rub her belly and give her treats. The minute I walk into the room she gives him the cold shoulder. (He received his own kitten this spring. The kitten loves everyone.)
